"When I was born, god didn't play dice. He saw all the possibilities and created parallel universes. In each of them I was born at exactly the same place on earth, but in a different time, and so I had a different citizenship.

In one, I was born 100 years earlier, and I was a Dutch East Indian. In another one, I was born 30 years earlier, and the Japanese won the war, so I became a Japanese East Indian.

In this one, I was born 5 centuries after the invention of the printing press, which gave birth to the Internet. Thanks to the reformation, I can be an artist - and the Internet allows me to collect passport from all the existing countries on earth. I have 140 passports right now. Doesn't that make me the most international artist in this universe?"
